ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all, I want to thank My Heavenly Father for giving me the knowledge and opportunity to write the book Ocean-Na. I sincerely hope and pray that it will help to change the way many human beings think, feel and act towards people, whose outward appearance is different from theirs. I want to thank my husband, Ernie, for spending tireless amounts of time in helping to bring about a suitable book cover and other book illustrations. I also want to thank the staff at Xulon Press for helping me to bring my cherished dreams to reality. Finally, I want to give a special 'thanks' to Scott Treloar, my Publishing Consultant at Xulon Press, who remained strong and helpful as a counselor, regardless of all the misunderstandings and daunting problems we both encountered. He still remained friendly and sincere. Thanks Scott. Keep up the good work. God bless
